Earlier this week, I mentioned a conversation I had at SharperIron.org regarding Albert Mohler and an article he wrote. The conversation diverted to C.J. Mahaney and his connection with Mark Dever (founder of 9Marks).
Here is my comment challenging Dever’s involvement with Mahaney when Mahaney took his leave of absence from his church, Covenant Life Church. And yea, I think I was a little miffed. I copied it directly, typos and all (sorry!):
Where’s the Integrity? Mohler, Burk on Abuse

When the facts became known, the firings of both Paterno and Spanier were inevitable and necessary. Both men had credible knowledge that young boys were being sexually abused, and neither did anything effective to stop it. Most crucially, neither man did what they should have done within minutes of hearing the first report — contact law enforcement immediately. Dr. Albert Mohler

At the T4G website, a note was posted that C.J. Mahaney will not be speaking at the 2014 Together for the Gospel conference. The conference is in Mahaney’s hometown of Louisville and speakers include Ligon Duncan, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, David Platt, John Piper, Kevin DeYoung, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Matt Chandler. Check out the speaker page where you can see a small note in red: Continue reading
Statement from T4G: Mohler, Dever, Duncan in Support of C.J. Mahaney Was Altered!
* * *
Today I was disappointed to discover that the public statement released by highly respected Christian leaders, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, and Ligon Duncan in support of their friend, C.J. Mahaney, was altered. The original statement which was posted on Facebook is not the same statement currently posted on the Together for the Gospel website.
TGC & T4G: It’s Not about the Nail, it’s about the SGM Survivors!
* * *

Have you seen this video? I liked it enough that I posted it on my blog’s Facebook page. The person who recommended it, Denny Burk, is one who has publicly given his support to C.J. Mahaney. Just a bit ago, a reader sent me a link to Kevin DeYoung’s blog which features the same video. DeYoung also issued a public statement of support for C.J. Mahaney. Hmmmm
When I originally saw the video, I was focusing on the typical husband/wife relationship in which the wife complains of a problem and the husband tries to “fix” it. It’s a great video to illustrate this common communication challenge in marital relationships.
But let’s take it a step further. I watched the video again in light of the fact that this video is being spread among The Gospel Coalition folks and this time it struck me differently, as it did reader who sent me the link. When watching it, think of the SGM story. Think of the SGM Survivors who have been saying time and again, “Yo, there’s a problem here!!!”
What was the response from SGM church leaders when confronted with issues of abuse in their churches? It was their sin problem. Oh no, not the leaders’s sin, but the sin of ones trying to say there is a problem. The victims have the problem of sin because there is no problem at SGM. Aren’t TGC and T4G folks essentially doing the same thing with regard to their support of C.J. Mahaney? Aren’t they saying, “there’s no problem?” And instead they blame divisive people, women bloggers, etc.
Sharing this particular video within the ranks of TGC gives one the impression that these guys are all about having good communication in marriages. By sharing it, they seem to be publicly saying they really want to be good husbands by being sensitive and sympathetic with their wives. That’s fine and dandy. While it’s nice that the people sharing it are acknowledging a common communication problem within marriages, it’s too bad the ones who are spreading it are unable to see that it’s not about the nail with the SGM survivors.
Just like that: T4G Statement of Support for Mahaney is Removed!!

UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST!!****
This morning, I started to add a new comment to the Together for the Gospel statement released on Facebook yesterday and noticed the comment number decreasing. When I refreshed the screen, the whole thing was GONE! Zilch, Nada!
